As I wrote about previously, I'm a sucker for cheap, regional beer brands.  I'm a huge fan of Narragansett Beer - who doesn't want to "Grab a 'Gansett?" But when I saw they also brew a Narragansett Bock beer I was... intrigued.  I've had Schlitz Dark in a Bucktown bar in Chicago, so why not a 'Gansett on a snowy new years eve?

It has a deep amber color, almost brown with a sweet, slightly spicy aroma.  Flavor has chocolate and vanilla notes, a hint of roasted malt smokiness and a sweet finish.  The body is pretty light and clean, a very drinkable brown lager from a classic New England beer brand.
